On Arendt

Oct 23, 2007 by

From the Australian philosophy radio show – Philosophers Zone:

Attending the trial of Adolph Eichmann, the war criminal, the philosopher Hannah Arendt was struck not by his satanic evil but by how unthinking he was. This week Max Deutscher, author of a recent book on Arendt’s work, discusses her views on thought, thinking and judging.

And a review of Arendt’s The Jewish Writings (link to the review)

    I’m amazed the host managed to call Heidegger “distinguished” in this episode (even if he did sound like he was choking), rather than his usual one-line descriptions which never fail to mention the words “dubious”, “fashionable” and “Nazi”. An ok program, at times; definitely not “Continental friendly.”
